Wildflowers of Colorado
August 3, 2009
The abundance and the beauty of the wildflowers in mid summer made our drive up into the mountains outside of Aspen a pleasure. We saw red poppies, blue lupine, white daisies, and lots of thistles.
The views from the mountain side were glorious.
This blue flower was blooming everywhere but I never did get its name.
Our native blue lupines are a favorite of mine.
Red poppies and white daisies blooming together.
The blue flower in the second picture appears to be Rocky Mountain Penstemon (a/k/a penstemon strictus).

Thanks Thomas! I’m not as familiar with the western wild flowers and appreciate any help I can get.
